Strange you mention CL where we haven't won away all season? People are dissecting and trying to figure out problem areas so that...we can solve them - the alternative of sticking fingers in your ears and putting on red tinted glasses going la la la isn't going to solve anything. The end goal is the same, or at least should be the same for superfans, realists, and pessimists it's to see LFC win trophies.
Strange you mention we haven't won away all season, as if you have to win away to be successful in Europe, as if that's the only formula to be successful. We hadn't lost a game in Europe last season up until the final. Real Madrid lost to Tottenham convincingly, and lost to Juventus 3-1 in the same season they won it.
Strange you absolutely highlight on the negative to make it the overall picture of what is actually going on.
Of course people are discussing things, it's what we're all doing but solve them? What are you going to solve? What am I going to solve by discussing them on here? I enjoy football, I love the club but neither you or I are going to solve anything for the club by discussing it on here. That's nonsense. Now if we were discussing how to solve something that we could have a direct impact on [atmosphere,banners, things of that sort] then that's a whole different notion.
Whether you view it as a pessimist or as an optimist, that won't change the outcome on the pitch. We nearly went into administration 10 years ago, when everything about this club was bleak, on and off the pitch. That time, it made proper sense to complain and focus on the negatives because that's what the situation was. We were a mess.
But ultimately if you can't find any ounce of enjoyment out of a side who is improving before your eyes under the manager who was wanted by the most majority of the people who support this club, then you never will.
If things were so bleak then criticism and negativity is warranted, when facing administration when facing absolutely uncertainty on the pitch then that makes perfect sense.
But that's not the case now. This club has never been more together in every aspect in a very very very long time.
What is being asked of this side is perfection in order to match a behemoth who we are competing against. There are no certainties in football, just like they aren't in life. So why, should I for instance worry about losing our players, when I don't know what the hell is going to happen in life tomorrow let alone what is going to happen with the players or the club?
IF there wasn't anything positive to discuss about this side and if there wasn't any progress made, if we were in a stalemate, stagnated, then your reaction and your outlook on the situation would be warranted. But now? I don't think so.
There is a difference between being balanced and objective, and being overly optimistic or pessimistic. it's clear which side of the fence you sit on
